Crip'd Ecologies: Unfurling Expanded Environments, co-curated by moira williams and Jeremiah Barber, will be presented at Root Division in February 2024.
The exhibition will feature disabled artists addressing ecosystems that are personal, shared, imagined, and invites artists across disabilities to consider the following curatorial question: How can we bring dynamic Crip strategies into landscapes, ecosystems, and bodies impacted by climate change to support practices of becoming, grief, abundance, and multispecies relationships instead of scarcity?
How does Disability Justice and Environmental Justice intertwine? How can Environmental Justice movements become inclusive? How can we expand ideas of "environment" beyond binaries of urbanism and ableism? How do Disabled artists or communities address overlapping crises of racial inequity, housing, health, and environmental destruction? How can eco art open into a more complex reflection of our fear, anger, and desire? How can our movements to dismantle white supremacy, anti-Blackness, and colonialism truly happen when Disability Arts are underrepresented and under-valued?
